Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-01-22 23:15 - Updated: 2026-01-22 23:15
Severity ?
Summary
This vulnerability arises because there are no limitations on the number
of authentication attempts a user can make. An attacker can exploit
this weakness by continuously sending authentication requests, leading
to a denial-of-service (DoS) condition. This can overwhelm the
authentication system, rendering it unavailable to legitimate users and
potentially causing service disruption. This can also allow attackers to
conduct brute-force attacks to gain unauthorized access.
